Part two begins with the story about Mr. Pickens and Mr. Honeycut making their daring escape only to be recaptured but then eventually freed by U.S. Troops.
“You should be prepared because everyone here today will either be killed or captured.” Imagine you are 21 years of age, in the military, and in a foreign country; your commanding officer gives you this information and now you must face an inevitable demise. Well, this is exactly what Mr. Pickens and the crew of 250 other men in his company were told as the Germans closed in and the fighting began at Fiyad Pass on February 15, 1943.
Once the dust settled there were 75 U.S. soldiers killed and the rest were captured, including Mr. Pickens. Little did he and the others know, but this was just this beginning of what would be a hellish 26 months that would test Mr. Olin’s mental and physical strength beyond what most of us could ever imagine, but it was his faith in God that carried him through.
This two part episode was necessary to share his entire journey that includes countless miles marched in captivity, starvation, horrible weather conditions, escape and then recapture, and finally his rescue and his safe return home.
We are blessed to have such a true American hero share his story with us and his unwavering love for God and country. Thank God for men like you sir!

Imagine the year is 1941 and you awake to the news that Pearl Harbor has been attacked. Now your country has been pulled into a World War that has cost so many their lives. As a young male during those times, the thought of serving their country was never a second thought. Young people even forged their age in order to enlist and go serve. Fighting for America was a thing of honor and sacrificing their life for future generations was something so many of our service members did without a minutes consideration.
This weeks guest proudly signed up and was eager to serve his country at a very young age. Mr. Robbins enlisted as an infantryman and was heading off to Normandy for the big D-day invasion. The moment that changed his entire story came when he saw the opportunity to become a chief. So, instead of being a part of the initial wave of soldiers that hit the beach his boat stayed off shore for 4 days. By the time his company was allowed to make shore there were already hundreds of dead soldiers lining the beach. Mr. Robbins and his crew made entry into France and it wasn’t long before he settled into the town of Briea.
This is where our story really begins! What happens next is something straight out of a blockbuster romantic movie. KT falls in love with a young French girl and the rest is something you have to hear for yourselves. I would do it no justice trying to describe the events that happened next. Spoiler alert…I might have shed a tear or two, but they were most certainly happy tears.

This week’s guest is a lifelong friend that shares years of memories with myself and my family. He is a husband, a father, a grandfather and holds many other titles earned. He is retired from FedEx and currently the President and CEO of KidzArt,LLC.
He has spent a lifetime serving and helping others and now at a time when many might consider slowing down for retirement, Randy is looking to become a public servant as a State Representative.
Going into politics at any age can be a difficult decision and for a man that has accomplished so much for so many I had to find out why he would choose to jump into such a demanding lifestyle.
His answer was simple, “I feel like I have something to offer.” After our conversation, I would have to say that I totally agree. Tune in to hear how he grew up fast when he decided to get married at the young age of 16 and start a family. Randy has now been married to his wife for almost 50 years and he has 2 children and 6 grandchildren. I know that you will find his resolve to provide for his family and help the community to be both heartwarming and inspirational.

In our lifetime we are fortunate if we meet just a dozen people on this planet that have a true heart for growing others. This week’s guest is without question one of those unique souls.
Robert Carter may be a banker, but he is a true humanitarian through and through. His love and passion for life goes without saying, but this true desire to see others give and be their best really shines through when he is coaching his team.
If you have ever had a coach in your life that you knew would do anything to help you be the best version of you, then you will certainly feel like you know Robert when you check out our conversation.
Not only is he a great coach, a great friend, a great husband and a great father, but he is the connecting link to how I got teamed up with Derrick Michaud and SRP studios and how the Motivate with Coach Camp podcast came to be. This was a great honor to share the mic with the one that started it all!

If you grew up in DeSoto County through the 90’s and beyond, then you most certainly know this week’s guest. Mr. Milton Kuykendall is truly an icon in Northwest Mississippi.
I was beyond blessed to have such great parents in this life, but the one thing that we all know is, we must have a variety of mentors in our life that help influence us to grow in the right direction. As the expression goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.”
Mr. Kuykendall started his career in education at Horn Lake High School as our basketball coach. As you will hear in our conversation, he had several years of experience in both coaching and being a principal prior to coming to Horn Lake. It was in those early years that helped to mold him into the man he was by the time he arrived at Horn Lake.
It is in my humble opinion that he was a pivotal influence on me and my education and I consider myself to be very blessed to have been a small part of his educational career. It is moments like this that I am so grateful to have my small platform to highlight such a great person.

When a person decides to become a coach, they are committing to a position of mentorship, instruction, development, leadership, and above all, a passion to help others reach their full potential. However, for those coaches that truly understand the total impact they have on those they coach, they can change their lives!
This week’s guest is Mrs. Kasey Astor. Kasey shares with my audience how she transitioned from gymnastics to cheer as a young person and then eventually into coaching cheer. I had the blessed experience of Mrs. Astor being my daughter’s cheer coach in middle school and I can tell you first hand that Mrs. Astor is a coach that loves her kids. Balancing when to push a player and knowing when to build them up can be tricky. It requires someone that takes the time to know their players and has a genuine love and concern about their well-being.
Kasey attributes her love and passion to her faith in God. Coaching can be hard at times, but loving her girls was easy. I knew that when my daughter would come home tired and frustrated she had had a tough practice. Tough practices build character and help to bond a team through their hard work. Kasey always expected their best effort, not because she deserved it, but because the girls deserved it of themselves.
The one thing that always stood out to me was how she would let each girl know how much she loved them and would always finish each practice or game with a prayer. Coaches like Kasey should never be taken for granted because they are leaving positive impressions that will forever help them no matter what they end up doing in life. I know you are going to love this episode!

Being called to something is a very powerful thing. I’ve often asked myself, what if
I didn’t act on something that I was supposed to act upon? Could I have missed
out on great blessings? Will someone else suffer from my lack of action?
Clearly, we can’t be everywhere and do everything, but we can and we should, do
something. My guest this week, Mr. Matt Carter and Mrs. Amy Braden answered
their calling and they are doing great things right here in the Memphis area.
Matt is the Community Engagement Coordinator and Amy is the Workforce
Coordinator for the nonprofit, HOPEWORKS. This is an organization that helps
adults to get their feet under them so they can become thriving citizens and
hopefully break the chain of generational depravity.
HOPEWORKS helps adults get their personal records in order so they can be better
equipped to pursue jobs, they educate those whose second language is English,
they assist with real world acclimation for those that have been incarcerated.
Simply stated, they put tools in the tool box for those that may not have had a
great first chance at life. I know you will be touched by this heartwarming story of
love and if you would like to find out more about how you could get involved you
can email www.whyhopeworks.org or call 901-272-3700.

What if everything we did was the final chapter to describe who we are or what
we will become? There would be no hope for those that make massive mistakes.
We would forever be defined by our bad choices and there would never be any
hope for a better, brighter future.
Regardless of what you’ve done or where you’ve come from, God gives us the
opportunity to change our lives forever. You simply have to start today and move
to a better you tomorrow.
So often we can be our own toughest critics and never allow ourselves to be a
better version of ourselves tomorrow because we can’t forgive ourselves from
yesterday. We should never be held prisoner by our past, but instead, we should
allow our past to help mold the better version of ourselves.
After a very vivid dream, I was inspired to record this solo podcast in the hopes
that it would find its way to the individuals that needed to hear this message. I
am certain that this message will hit home for some of you and possibly you
needed to hear this and you were completely unaware that you needed it.

My guest this week is certainly no stranger to the Mid-South. Mr. Tim Simpson
has a storied career as one of channel 3’s severe weather experts, but he is much
more than a weather expert. He is a singer, a pilot, a sports enthusiast, a
husband, a father of 5 and above all, a man of faith.
Mr. Simpson shares with my listeners what led him into a career of broadcasting
and what mentors he had along the way. Prior to coming to channel 3 news in
Memphis he had 8 previous years of broadcasting the weather and then spent an
additional 29 years with Memphis before retiring and moving to South Carolina to
be around family.
I am sure that you will find his interview to be both intriguing and inspiring when
he talks about one of his favorite segments the network did on Thursdays called,
“Pass it on Thursday’s”. This is actually what brought us together when we
teamed up with Mr. Simpson to deliver some help for a fellow school employee.

Now that Mr. Simpson and his family has relocated to South Carolina he has more
time to do things with his loved ones and one of those things is producing a
podcast with his wife called, “Embrace your Everyday”. Passing on a positive
message will forever be a part of Tim’s life and I am so grateful for having the
opportunity to meet such a great person.
